childfreedom = selfish, wealthy, always has time to help others because doesn't have a life, and of course, hates all kids! I believe that would sum up what many think, even thought none of it is true.

I like "What I think I do". As in having paranoid fantasies that they're in a war against the childfree all coming after them for having a baby.

I'm sure it goes along with some sort of dystopian sci-fi conspiracy narrative, like "I dared to have...a child. In a time where it was forbidden by my society. No one other than other parents know how we suffer...for our children. In a world where we're glared at, shamed, martyred. I am the last of my kind."

Yup, it's true parents have a paranoid narrative going on in their heads at all times, that's why they howl when a person without a child speaks to them. So if you don't have a child and have fantasies "they're out to get you" you're mentally ill. If you have a child and believe "they're out to get you", it's cute.

I'll never understand it, if you're protecting another human being, isn't it time to put your action hero fantasies to rest? Ah but it's their child, and their right to play mommy warrior with them if they want to. And childfree people supposedly don't care about kids. More like we don't stand by while a parent is putting their child at risk with their departures from reality into fantasyland.

About Me

They call me Daisy Duke because I enjoy zipping into stork parking spots like a bat out of hell (just try to catch me!) I am in my 40s, married to the greatest guy in the world and have multiple beautiful furbabies. They're sweet, adorable, loving and we don't have to put them through college.
As for this blog, it's mission is three-fold; first, to shine a spotlight on the childfree lifestyle and promote it as an attractive and viable lifestyle alternative; second, to expose the unreasonable pro-parent, pro-child, pro-family bent of our culture (pronatalism) which glorifies parenthood and misleads many unsuspecting, unthinking people into a life that may not be best suited to them; and third, to critically examine parenthood and give it the honest treatment it does not get in our child/family-obsessed culture.
